mainly used to automatically and dynamically maintain the group membership
information of the VLANs. The GVRP offers the function to provide the VLAN
registration service through a GARP application. It makes use of the GARP
Information Declaration (GID) to maintain ports associated with their attribute
database and GARP Information Propagation (GIP) in order to communicate among
switches and end stations. With GID information and GIP, GVRP state machine
maintains the contents of Dynamic VLAN Registration Entries for each VLAN and
propagate these information to other GVRP
